Almighty God, we thank You for this weekend, which we have received as a gift from You. Please bless this time with peace, joy and harmony. Strengthen in us a sense of love and empathy, so that we may spend this short time with our loved ones in a loving and mutually supportive way, and find peace and replenishment for our bodies and souls. May the blessings of the weekend help us to start the new week refreshed and recharged. Thank you for all your good deeds and your presence in our lives. Amen.
